Note: To ensure proper axle alignment and suspension performance, leaf springs should always be replaced in pairs.
Leaf springs are an integral part of your trailer suspension system. The leaf springs provide the attachment points for your trailer's axle, suspending it from the frame of your trailer. Each spring flexes to absorb road shock as you travel, allowing the axle to move somewhat independently of the rest of your trailer. This helps to reduce wear and tear on the trailer and also ensures a smooth ride.
Double-eye leaf springs attach to hangers that are welded onto your trailer. One end of this spring will attach directly to the hanger with a suspension bolt. The other end will attach to shackle straps that are suspended from a hanger. These straps allow the spring to move and pivot so that it can better compensate for uneven pavement. If you have a tandem- or triple-axle trailer, the shackle straps will be attached to the equalizer that connects multiple springs.
To mount this spring, you will need hangers, shackle straps, and suspension bolts. If you are simply replacing a spring, you may still have hangers welded onto your trailer. You should, however, replace your shackle straps because they are usually the first component to wear out. You may choose to replace old suspension bolts as well. It is recommended that you replace the other leaf spring in your setup at the same time. Because springs can sag and elongate as they wear, this new spring may not exactly match the old one, and the alignment of your trailer could be affected.
If you are fabricating a trailer, you will need to purchase a hanger kit for installation. To determine the type of hanger kit that you need, you must know the specific type of leaf spring that you have, as well as your axle capacity. Depending on the hanger kits used with them, springs can be configured to work for single-, tandem- or triple-axle applications. Hangers and other suspension components can also be purchased separately if there isn't a complete kit that works for your setup.

I appreciate your informative response to my questions. The RV leaf spring is exactly what I needed. Thank you and I will continue doing business with you. Thanks to Dan for helping me place this order.
They arrived quick which is great! But when I see how they were packed I was kind of disappointed… from reading other reviews this seems to be a constant problem.
These 6,000-lb springs from etrailer and there wet bolt kit were installed on my 2016 Bullet 22RBI replacing the factory 3,500 springs. No problems with the install, everything fit as described and went together with no problems. The ride after install was outstanding, the trailer was very stable and didn’t have the bouncy ride as before.
I was looking for a spring that is made in the USA, but apparently they are all made in China! With the added weight capacity, I hope these will not go flat as the original springs did.
Did have to locate some 61/2 inch U-bolts locally, the 51/2 inch were not long enough on 25/8 axle.
Overall am very happy with etrailer service and products, there follow up emails is an added bonus!
The quality of these replacement springs is better than the original
Michael T was very helpful during this ordeal. These leads worked perfectly and were not a very hard ride since they are 6k lb leaf. Easy to install and fit like a charm. I would reccommend etrailer to everyone. Thanks Michael
